1953 Map of Mt Pennell 2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Tarantula Mesa and Swap Mesa dominate this topography, where the high plateaus of Garfield County drop away into a complex network of canyons and drainage systems. This 1950s survey captures the region just as photogrammetric mapping began to reveal the intricate landforms of south-central Utah in high detail. The map traces the winding course of Muley Twist Creek as it carves through the sandstone, creating a stark corridor between the elevated plateaus and the broad expanses of Cave Flat. The absence of roads or settlements on this sheet reflects the remote character of the Colorado Plateau before modern recreational infrastructure became established in the area.
